Would you like to contribute your thoughts, memories and expertise to a Lockdown Memory Exhibition we will be holding in the village in late 2021?

One group is making a quilt. If you would like to sew a square, please contact Jackie or Gail on 792543 or gailtalks@hotmail.com to join the group and get regular updates. Another suggestion is a wall of words which, to you, sum up the lockdown experience. Could be loneliness, or toilet rolls, or masks …. Just write it down, in your own handwriting or in a word document, and we will collate. Children might like to draw us a picture of what it was like to be home schooled, or not to see friends in person. Photographers will have many shots recording this extraordinary year. However you wish to remember, or even forget 2020, please get your contributions to us by May 1 st , 2021.

Don’t forget the village art auction, with all proceeds going to the NHS, is still running. You can bid for a bargain at http://www.jumblebee.co.uk/nhsfundraiserauction until March 23rd, the first anniversary of lockdown. Our total contribution to the NHS and charities from mask sales and donations currently stands at £12000. Bids are at £1300. It wouldn’t take much to get to £15,000 which would be a fantastic achievement.
